Have you seen Print Planet?  Go to printplanet.com and read the threads. 

They discuss not only my products like the DC260, DC5000, DC8000AP and iGen3, they also discuss some of my competitors like the Canon7000 (you will see why I absolutley say you should avoid that one), Minolta, HP and Kodak.

They also discuss web sites, workflow tools and more.  From what I can tell, it is a great site with good traffic and posts. 

 Remember that anyone can post, so read with caution.    However, some do include phone numbers and company names so if you are really interested, I can help you figure out how to actually contact those and you can hear the live story.

Additionally, if you have to remember that you have to consider your local sales and service team when making a decision.  You want to move forward with a partner that is passionate about your business!  I believe this is a huge competitive advantage for me because I am lucky enough to have what I feel is the “dream support team” (service, sales and business development).

Take 15 minutes to watch this Darwin Pro vidoe. This software is super inexpensive and very powerful.  Technology is amazing and I would love to spend some time showing you how easy the world of VI, VDP, 1-1 or whatever you want to call it is.  http://www.creopod.com/data/Products/On-Demand%20Applications/Darwin%20VI%20authoring%20tool/Tour.aspx

Find out how PANTONE, Inc., leveraged Variable-Data Publishing (VDP) to successfully promote their new monitor calibration system.
